50.000.000 people, GDP of about Italy, or Greece, quite rich country to be honest, even in constant thread by its aggressive neighbor, but not single Prog band listed here in PA ? How that's possible, there's no one Prog here ? It's quite a mystery. Do any of you know about some Prog band from here ? Would it be possible to actually find something and add it ? That would be, well, international :-)

I did a little bit googling and found this link:

Maybe Kim Jung Mi would qualify for prog folk ?

But overall I find corean artists too "pop" for this site (even teh ones tagged as "psychedelic rock"). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6pBIUl_rCY&feature=related -

The music I've heard from there is usually off by a decade. For instance, late 70s albums from 산울림 sound like late 60s psych rock. Also, a bit of scouring might reveal work by a South Korean prog band called Linus from the 80s.

San Ul Lim is considered to be psychedelic - but not really prog imo

The supposedly prog Linus doesn't sound really prog to my ears either.

Now you understand why there are no prog bands coming out of Korea in PA...

I don't remember much about Linus except that it was drenched in organs. It's been a while.

However, I feel there will be at least one prog artists out there. Pure probability rules this way. It's free country, therefore free to do things in their own way. It would be strange if nobody though about making prog band, or at least band with "new" sound.

Linus is a good band, in Uriah Heep vein with hammond and prog rock with a harder edge, will be intristing to be here in PA.

Not familiar with them, but it would be interesting, indeed.

Do you know them well ?

From the French book "Encyclopédie du Har-Rock des 70's" by Denis Protat, I heard about three or four hard/heavy-rock bands from South Korea, but I don't remember if they were described as progressive, would it be only a little bit.
